Wallingford, CT, November 14, 2012…….The Twenty-Fourth Annual Festival of Trees will begin on November 27 at Masonicare Health Center, 22 Masonic Avenue in Wallingford. The very popular event features a silent auction of 60 unique, beautifully decorated tabletop trees.

The lighted trees are designed and trimmed by teams of Masonicare employees, volunteers, and residents, and The Eastern Star Charity Foundation willalso be participating. The trees will be on continuous display in the lobby of Masonicare Health Center until Tuesday, December 18. Everyone is welcome to visit the Center any day between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. to view the trees and place a bid. Bids will be closed at 2:30 p.m. on December 18, when the highest bidders will be announced and winners can claim their holiday tree. Winners will be notified if they can’t be present on that date. All proceeds from the auction will be used to support a host of activities for the residents of Masonicare Health Center.

As always, this year’s Festival of Trees features a wide range of unique and imaginative decorations and a variety of themes that will appeal to every taste and delight adults and children of all ages. One of the trees may be just what you’re looking for to complete your holiday decorating or the perfect gift for that very special person. Be sure to stop by and place your bid!
